PHOENIX — (BUSINESS WIRE) — September 27, 2016 —
ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq:
ON), driving energy efficiency innovations,
has announced three new devices for driving
3-phase
BLDC motors via 180 degree sinusoidal waveforms. Designed for use in
cooling fans of household appliances such as refrigerators, as well as
games consoles and computing equipment, the LV8811, LV8813, and LV8814
have voltage ranges of 3.6 volts (V) to 16 V, 6 to 16 V, and 3.6 to 16 V
respectively. These highly integrated, software-less
motor
drivers simplify motor control circuit design by eliminating
software development time. In addition, these devices reduce acoustic
noise and vibration, and enable deployment of energy efficient motor
controls. They can be controlled by a single Hall sensor, reducing
system costs. Motor speed can be set by either a pulse width modulated
(PWM) signal or a DC voltage. Furthermore, their lead angle can easily
be adjusted.

The LV8811, the LV8813, and the LV8814 incorporate over-current,
over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-temperature protection functions.
Also included are locked rotor protection and auto-recovery mechanisms.
Soft start-up and shutdown functionality ensures that ongoing
operational stability is maintained.

“Appliance manufacturers need to heighten the energy efficiency of their
products in order to adhere to the latest guidelines. They are also
under a great deal of pressure from consumers for these products to
deliver smooth, silent operation,” explains Ikuya Kawasaki, Intelligent
Power Solution Division General Manager at ON Semiconductor. “The 180°
drive and lead angle adjustment of our LV8811/LV8813/LV8814 offering
enable engineers to design systems that attain the elevated performance
characteristics that are now being demanded. Moreover, design engineers
can save development time and workload, and rapidly roll out their
products.”

Packaging and Pricing

The LV8811/LV8813/LV8814 are all supplied in RoHS-compliant
TSSOP-20J/SSOP-20 packages, and respectively priced at $0.938
(LV8811/LV8813) and $0.785 (LV8814) per unit in 2,000 unit quantities.
